Customers can configure it so that users are presented with a cookie “opt-in” panel or button and optional reminder banner to website visitors. CookieQ was the original solution released in May 2011 to the requirement for consent to cookies laid out in Regulation 6 of the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2011. The product has been enhanced with feedback from customers and now offers a complete consent platform capable of meeting any compliance requirements for consent management and communication. Consent can be managed in any number of multiple categories, using arbitrary names and fully configurable by the customer. For example consent indications such as Tracking=no, AnalyticsCookies=yes, DataCollection=yes can be stored for a particular use and communicated to any web domains that have been allocated by a “dashboard” customer facility. Data used to register consent such as current state, revocation period etc. is stored entirely within the user’s browser and not simply in a domain specific cookie. Action on consent refusal in certain categories such as cookie and local storage removal can be entirely handled by CookieQ, so that no cookie placement is required, or alternatively session cookies can be used to signal consent status to particular web domain servers. Cookies or local storage used “strictly to support a service requested by the user” do not need to be automatically removed. For the small number of browsers that do not support localStorage CookieQ stores the consent data in secure cloud storage. CookieQ uses Microsoft Windows Azure Storage tables for this. Microsoft guarantees that this information is replicated 3 times within the same data centre for resiliency against hardware failure and again replicated in another geographically separated data centre to provide additional data durability in the case of a major disaster. This platform can be configured either to offer an explicit opt-in mechanism whereby cookies & local storage are removed from their browser if the visitor has not opted in for particular customer defined or standard categories, or as an “implied consent” mechanism where cookies will not be removed by default but visitors can explicitly withdraw their consent whenever they wish. The styling and text of buttons and panels is completely configurable by the user, although various pre-baked styles are offered. Customers can design their own panels and banners retaining the look & feel of their website’s branding using standard techniques such as declarative HTML or using JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, or we can design these User Interface elements for them. The service can be configured so that a user visiting a website with the W3C standard Do Not Track header signal set in their browser will be given a specific default such as Tracking=no, overriding any implied consent if that is in operation. Analytics services such as Google Analytics are specifically supported whereby they can continue to be used without the need to collect user identifying data or enable it to be sent to a third party not under the jurisdiction of European Data Protection or Privacy law. Once consent has been obtained it can be applied across any number of web domains owned by the same data controller. This means that if the Government explains a single privacy and cookie storage policy to a visitor a positive indication of consent will immediately be available to the servers of all its other website domains. A “dashboard” feature allows the customer to manage the consent settings on all its websites instantly without needing to take down servers, and only needs to install a single line script snippet on every site. Implicit, explicit or no consent can be controlled by the dashboard or by automatic geo-location based on the visitor's source IP address. The service now supports the W3C Tracking Protection Working Group (Do Not Track) consent API and has a built in tag management facility (or can support other external services such as the Google Tag Management service) to conditionally display third-party content contingent on a user's consent for storage or tracking. The service also includes a exhaustive and detailed report of client-side and server-side http cookies, 3rd party cookies, flash cookies, local storage and other information. CookieQ is an off-the-shelf solution but if further customisation or technical consultancy is required then this can be supplied. The CookieQ web application is hosted in the Microsoft Azure infrastructure, in Northern Europe data centres located in Dublin, Ireland and Amsterdam, The Netherlands. This hosting allows Baycloud to rapidly deploy new server instances to meet peak demands on the CookieQ website. Baycloud will ensure that enough roles are deployed so that over 7 days the CookieQ button, and the data registering consent for storage, can be rendered within an average of 500ms seconds to a browser used to visit a website implementing the CookieQ Service. Static files such as the CookieQ stylesheet files and the external files containing the CookieQ proprietary JavaScript are held on hosted servers managed by Baycloud Systems or in a suitable Content Delivery Network (CDN) such as the Windows Azure CDN. The CDN improves performance by caching content at locations closest to visitors to customer’s websites. The Windows Azure CDN is a managed service that is operated by Microsoft and has a 99.99% monthly SLA. Customers are give authentication credentials so that they can login to the http://cookieq.com site and configure their implementation and manage all the domains in one place. | |Blackthorn Technologies Ltd |Accreditation Management Solution |Manage systems accreditation (RMADS) using the Blackthorn GRC solution. - Risk Management Accreditations Document Set • Implement and track all controls, processes and procedures quickly and easily with configured templates to make.. • Organise and coordinate Accreditation activities across teams and departments. • Store, manage, and access compliance policies centrally. • User can customise for departmental needs with the addition of new processes when required. • Track cost with integrated time accounting recording engine. • Track and monitor efficiency and productivity using the integrated time and accounting engines. • Easy to use workflow engine for users to make amendments when required. • Import and export data from and to other systems. • Application is IL2/IL3 accredited and hosted on pan government IL2 and IL3 accredited infrastructures. • Passed assessment and review for Home Office systems interoperability study. • Dual site disaster recovery capability is provided as part of the purchased service with failover and data replication. • Data retention rules and management are included as part of the application features. • Data and evidence and management are included as part of the application features following BS3100. • Service Management through Blackthorn’s ePortal at IL3 on a separate database instance to ensure service continuity. • Role Based Access controls are used for security and restricting access to unauthorised users. • Full audit trail capabilities are standard including legally admissible 'Decision Log' in addition to system logs. • Helpdesk available 08:00-18:00 • Software maintenance and standard software updates during the time of the contract (including patches and hot fixes as required to maintain application functionality). • Minimum users/month may apply. • Expenses will be charged for consultancy and project based activities outside the M25. • Service Management is provided through Blackthorn’s ePortal and a helpdesk available 08:00-18:00. – • Software maintenance and updates included in service price. • Requires infrastructure as a service components as detailed from Blackthorn. • Store, manage, and access compliance policies centrally. • User can customise for departmental needs with the addition of new processes when required. • Track cost with integrated time accounting recording engine. • Track and monitor efficiency and productivity using the integrated time and accounting engines | |Blackthorn Technologies Ltd |Anti-Bribery & Corruption Compliance & Management |The Blackthorn Anti Bribery & Corruption Compliance Management.

Security hosting of services in secure, government-rated (to Impact Level 3) data centres with certified security compliance. Authenticated user access for service users and administrators with secure audit log. Access from anywhere secure web GUIs should enable access to services from any location. | |Content Guru Ltd (Redwood Technologies) |Cloud Discovery |The Cloud Discovery process is the initial stage in a cloud deployment and is designed to de-risk a project. We work with the client to assess various aspects of the project. In the event that co-operation is impossible, both parties have the option to terminate the project during the discovery stage. Discovery ensures the smooth running of a project and reduces the waste of time and money. The Discovery process is carried out in the following stages:
Content Guru consultants meet with the parties involved in the customer's current solution (if one exists) and also any parties that will be involved in the new solution.
In the discussion, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are reviewed, and key performance targets are set.
Our consultants review the customer's existing business processes which are then documented, and the customer's desired business requirements are also discussed.
All the data gathered is collated and a Statement of Requirements (SOR) document, which details a proposed solution tailored to the customer's needs. If possible under the time constraints, Content Guru may produce a demonstration of some of the proposed services, although this is not always possible or necessary.
Once the preparations are complete, our consultants present the findings (the SOR and, if available, the demo) to the customer. Feedback is received from the customer, and a price outline is proposed.
A final proposal is documented, and is presented to the customer along with a recommendation from Content Guru as to whether proceeding with the project is viable. The customer then makes a decision on whether or not to continue.

We provide a range of services that enable our clients to benefit from the advantages of adopting an Enterprise Architecture approach within their organisations. Key to the success, of moving government services to the cloud, is the adoption of an Enterprise Architecture to ensure services are designed and built to run in the cloud. Building for cloud platforms means designing for cloud optimised architectures, and because cloud platforms are different from traditional on-premise platforms, this results in a new developmental paradigm. Fundamentally, cloud optimised architecture is one that favours loosely coupled services in highly scalable environments. The key principles to keep in mind while designing for the cloud is to ensure that services and applications are composed of loosely coupled processes, preferably based on Service Orientated Architecture (SOA) principles. Enterprise Architecture Services provide a range of services, building on industry and government best practice, that can help to ensure the move to cloud is a success.

We are able to supply references of each of these capabilities from our work in both Government and commercial sectors on request. Architecture We assist in the strategy definition, value justification and establishment of Enterprise Architectures at all levels of enablement - business process, data/information, applications/functionality, technical infrastructure, integration and security. We provide proven artefacts (frameworks, reference models, templates, standards, guidelines, patterns, governance models etc) to accelerate the introduction, deployment and adoption of EA best practice. We work in a pragmatic way adopting the appropriate parts of industry recognised frameworks such as TOGAF, TEAF, DODAF, and apply Glue's own gEAM, enterprise architecture method and gDAM, design authority method to ensure a successful implementation. We are experienced in using and providing advice on most of the leading EA tools including Troux/Metis, ARIS, Adaptive, Sparx EA and IBM’s Telelogic System Architect. Integration The origin of Glue was in the emerging use of integration technology as a key part of the solution to ‘integrating the enterprise’ where good architecture practice and functionally rich application technologies alone were not enough. Glue provides a complete range of integration and data management services which include: assisting in the creation and evolution of Integration Centres of Excellence, in particular the concept of an Integration Factory; assisting in migration to middleware integration architectures.

Data Glue Reply is experienced in all aspects of data management. Our view is that data is a problem that needs to be managed as a whole, hence the approach is termed ‘Total Data’. This includes strategies for technical solutions but importantly emphasises the People and Process aspects, particularly Data Governance. We have methods and approaches for Master Data Management, Data Storage, ETL, Master Catalogue Services, Information Models, Canonical Data Modelling, Data Centres of Excellence and more. Glue Reply is currently leading on a major transformational project for MOD which is focussing on delivering core Master Data for the Logistics domain. We have many further references across both Government and commercial sectors. Innovation Glue Reply has invested in a number of offers that exploit today’s technology to provide business solutions to its customers. We have for example developed the concept of ‘Proximity’ in the Retail sector which is a suite of technology and business services that enables a Retailer to get closer to its customers, enabling a dialogue or conversation to continue with the customer long after they have left the store or the website. Other areas of exploitation include Social Media and Mobile Solutions which we have delivered across Government, Industrial and Commercial sectors. Proven Approach & Accelerators Glue Reply will wherever possible utilise its IP accelerators to support this engagement and to provide the customer with a set of deliverables exploiting our industry expertise. This will enable rapid deployment of the significant body of knowledge we have built up based on our experience across sectors including Retail, Finance, Government and Telecommunications.

However our experience over the last decade in the Government and Defence, Retail and Commercial, Financial Services and Telecommunications and Media sectors has allowed us to develop our own Best Practice approaches and methodologies. Our generic approach is to be flexible and evolutionary in our outlook but above all to focus on supporting the delivery of the enterprises objectives and vision, through optimising their exploitation and use of data and information, no matter how secure the environments.

Our specialists help to deliver improved capability drawing on years of experience within Defence and other government agencies: • Customisation and Configuration - consultants are available to help get the most out of the GIS software and capabilities on enterprise systems and also advise on best value upgrades and improvements. • Data Consultancy Service - Data is the foundation for all systems and is often the key to realising system performance. Appropriate data management enables the best sharing, visualisation and re-use of data across multiple applications. Our clients see increased speed and an enhancement to their capability from existing systems and software when data is configured and managed effectively. We can help you with the Procurement, Handling, Storage, Dissemination and Retrieval of large volumes of geospatial data and supporting information. Our knowledge of data optimisation structures aid visualisation techniques and improvement of informtion exchange which is especially important where bandwidth limitations would otherwise be a problem. We also provide the expertise for migrating legacy databases to modern platforms. Our knowledge of OGC and other Standards, and where to apply these to achieve maximum interoperability, allows us to ensure that access to your information is as wide as possible. • Existing Capability Improvement Service - Helyx regularly encounter organisations that have already equipped themselves with highly capable geospatial systems, yet are currently using only a fraction of the capability they offer. We can help to identify where your perceived capability gaps can be met from your existing geospatial investments, and offer the advice, support and even personnel to enable you to exploit what you already have more efficiently. • GIS System Management Service - In addition to our design and implementation services we can provide highly experienced staff to manage a new or existing GIS system. This covers all aspects of the system including but not limited to system administration, data management, spatial analysis, GI web service provision and optimisation. • Geospatial Business Analytics - Many organisations don’t want to invest in geospatially specific hardware, software or permanent expert staff and for these organisations our analysis package is a cost effective solution. Our expert analysts have many years of firsthand experience covering an array of sectors spanning the military sector, security sector, the environmental sector, crime and law enforcement, disaster recovery and insurance risk management. We have both the specialism and the understanding of geospatial data that enables us to provide in-depth and well-considered analysis to suit a multitude of different purposes. We also have expertise in digital cartographic design that will bring your data to life in professional 2D and 3D maps and time-series. • Geo De-risking Assessments - Helyx encounter projects, both large and small in scale, that incorporate a significant element of mapping, imagery or other geospatial functionality requirements, yet in which there has been a failure to address these requirements until too late in project lifecycle. In particular, the scoping of data requirements and of their acquisition, consequent impact on storage capacity, transfer times and network usage, if not de-risked early on, can make the difference between project success and failure. | |Hotcourses Limited |Education IT and Data Consultancy |Hotcourses is the world’s leading provider of education websites and education data.

Big Data offers the opportunities of comprehensive service provision (e.g. access to a complete library of automobile maintenance documentation) and superior data analysis (e.g. more accurate Business Intelligence (BI) based on actual data, rather than statistics). These opportunities can only be realised through the adoption of specialist Cloud-based tools, techniques and technology to efficiently and effectively manipulate the Big Data. Services The NTT DATA Big Data consultancy service enables organisations to understand and exploit the value in their Big Data. Through years of experience in providing Big Data solutions, NTT DATA can provide consultancy services covering: - Data management - comprehensive functions from the infrastructure to archive related services (collection, search, view, authentication, contents delivery, multi-device, format change for external coordination) are provided. - High performance search and browse - achieved by adoption of cutting-edge data handling technologies such as Hadoop and Solr e.g. NDL system stores 200 million items and 370T bytes data which is more than 6 times bigger than Google Book contents. - Flexible and adjustable systems - where the system size/scale is adjustable depending on the data size/type by use of OSS technologies. Also, a variety of data formats can be handled and stored inside the system (contents data and metadata). - Cost effective Technology selection - optimising the use of the most up-to-date OSS technologies inside Big data Cloud systems in order to apply the newest technologies to the solution architecture and so to reduce the cost. Approach to Big Data Projects The NTT DATA Big Data Consultancy service can provide advice on specific issue of exploiting Big Data or on the whole lifecycle design of a Big Data Cloud system. The approach to designing such a system includes the Big Data specific activities of: a) Analyse existing data and future data sources to assess the viability of adopting Big Data solutions. For example where a Big Data BI system was proposed, data analysis would be undertaken to assess the consistency, completeness and accuracy of the data feeds to ensure that when data manipulation was undertaken the outputs would be representative and reliable. For example automated Data Imputation techniques may be introduced to fix data gaps or errors. b) Assess the usage requirements - determine if Big Data technologies are relevant to the size and complexity of problem. If they are, which OSS technologies and which infrastructures would give the most cost effective solutions. Determine the need for Search and Browse capabilities. c) Assess accessibility restrictions - use of Automated Authentication links on top of existing web access arrangements. d) Identify Data collection requirements - e.g. use of 'crawlers' to gather web contents automatically. e) Determine Database requirements - including use of auto-categorisation tools and mega-metadata. f) Identify Infrastructure requirements - PaaS scaling and SaaS selection. Client Outcomes Clients can expect to receive the following benefits from their engagement with NTT DATA's Big Data services: - For Library systems - reduced time for creating the search index; efficient search system that deals with a very large data volume. - For Business Intelligence systems - predict users' recorded behaviour to proactively provide targeted services or functions; design new business logic and evaluate them by numerical simulation using historical, real world results; aggregate and visualize accumulated data in various dimensions without compromising quantity and hence quality of results; discover the correlation and rules among accumulated mass data by using data mining techniques. | |NTT DATA UK Limited |Business Process Automation Service |Business Process Automation Service Introduction The Business Process Automation Service is able to provide a cloud-based solution that will automate most business processes or workflows. It involves reviewing the existing processes and supporting technology and offering the user a highly efficient and streamlined front end, supporting workflow and integration with its back office systems (e.g. SAP, Oracle). The service is particularly relevant where the public sector organisation is currently presenting the user with multiple and sometimes overlapping input forms, which need to be consolidated and then integrated with a back office system. It provides a strong vehicle for validating the content provided on the form and making sure that it is collected once and collected properly. Approach The service is split into two phases: a) Discovery Phase. During this Phase various techniques are used to facilitate the exploration, analysis, capture and prioritisation of the business process automation requirement. The outputs from the Discovery Phase act as inputs for the define/design phase. A Discovery Report, which catalogues the activities and conclusions from the Discovery phase, is produced to provide a rounded view of the relevant landscape and direction setting for the project. b) Define and Design Phase. During this phase, the requirements are further prioritised and the highest value concepts are further developed. The experience strategy is matured; initial interface designs for the solutions highest value capabilities are developed. Techniques used during this phase include: - User journey mapping - User Interface Concept sketching - Requirements management and user story creation - Screen flows modelling - Mood boarding - Visual brand exploration - Experience principles - Interaction principles - Visual language creation - Taxonomies - Conceptual experience architecture - Application map - Detailed process flows - Motion design - Iconography - Visual design and asset production - Wireframe creation - User testing and paper prototyping - Interaction prototyping - Output from the service Deliverables Various outputs are produced from the service which underpin the final concepts and cloud design decisions. The catalogue of design assets and guides act as the road map for cloud development, which is usually undertaken in an agile sprint-based approach. The outputs which act as the roadmap for development include but are not limited to: application maps, wireframes, interaction models, motion designs, iconology, visual assets and taxonomies. The approach provides the basis for starting development and delivery on key functionality as early as possible and development/design refinement is undertaken on a sprint basis thereby allowing for late stage requirements adjustment and design flexibility. This model provides for maximum flexibility and user involvement, whilst focusing on early delivery of value in an iterative manner.

Heightened concerns from regulators and consumers over the correct use of information, particularly personal data, is perhaps only matched by growing external and internal threats. Many public sector organisations find that to evolve a clear, cohesive, business-focused governance and security strategy, external advice is invaluable - particularly when that advice is based on practical experience of other successful projects. Our Approach a) Security Strategy and Business IT Alignment Although security strategy and governance objectives may be clear, their implementation is often intricate, touching on many areas of an organisation. We work with customers to understand these objectives and then translate them into a practical strategy with an achievable scope. This often involves using a single group or department as a best practice model that can be replicated throughout the organisation. - Alignment of business with IT - Defining strategy for two to five years - Building business cases for security investments b) Policies and Procedures A proactive, enterprise-wide information security strategy is a necessity. We help you align your business needs, risks and costs to make you more secure using the assets you already have. This starts with ensuring your policies and procedures reflect your organisation, by balancing controls and management to reduce overall risk. - Designing frameworks for policies and procedures - Writing policies and procedures - Implementation of policies and procedures - Optimisation - resources and cost c) Awareness and Training Policies and procedures are of little value if an organisation's employees are not aware of these standards or do not understand what they mean. We support this key part of an end-to-end governance process, by preparing and delivering high-impact awareness and training programmes for all levels within an organisation. The aim is to drive policy compliance and ensure the long-term value of technology investments. - Development of the awareness collateral - Running awareness workshops (management buy-in) - Managing awareness programmes - Compliance management d) Security Organisation Who is responsible for managing potential threats, vulnerabilities and data within your organisation? We work with you to define a clear information security hierarchy, outlining roles and responsibilities. Visibility to roles and responsibilities also enables an organisation to assess which elements of security governance it may wish to outsource to reduce risk. - Defining information security hierarchy - Identifying functions for security management - Establishing RACI matrix and auditing mechanism - Outsourcing information security governance e) Identity, Access and Authorisation As organisations have an increasingly virtual workforce, managing identities and authentication, combined with controlling access to information and assets, is a critical part of information security. We help organisations to design, assess, select and implement a comprehensive solution, based on an extensive knowledge of technology and well-defined policies. We help define and select a strong, secure and easy-to-use authentication system that covers remote, corporate and partners. We understand the technologies and challenges in controlling access to critical assets. - Defining business and technical requirements - Designing and profiling - Developing solution architecture - Process consultancy for efficiency and reduced costs Service Delivery This service will be delivered using the combined expertise of NTT DATA (UK) Ltd and Integralis Ltd.

This highly-experienced group of security specialists offers the flexibility of resource and breadth of expertise to ensure technical security controls are effectively integrated, deployed and managed. As public sector organisations face delivering more with less resources, it has become harder to maintain a comprehensive range of security technology skills. Technical Consulting offers the flexibility of remote deployment and support of information security solutions. Choosing to outsource elements of information security enables internal resources to focus on core activities whilst maintaining full control. Our Approach a) Assess. Before any technology deployment, we work with customers to avoid common deployment pitfalls: - Review current Infrastructure. We examine the impact of any technology investment. This avoids integration delays and identifies opportunities to optimise performance and increase return on investment. - Security Configuration Auditing. To meet the realities of business life, organisations are beset by infrastructure and application 'work arounds' which are neither secure nor sustainable. Our consultants identify and highlight instances of these vulnerabilities, so that practical remediation can be executed and confidence restored. - Technology Evaluation. Our practical approach ensures that the Technology Evaluation focuses on understanding and addressing the specific needs of each business and the users of any security solution. - Jumpstart. When information security or compliance issues arise, the need to address them is often time-critical. With the knowledge of thousands of implementations and our comprehensive vendor relationships, our jumpstart service enables flexible and prioritised deployment. b) Technical Design. Once a solution has been identified, Integralis will work with your technical architects to define: - The key components of a solution design - Document the impact on an organisation's infrastructure - A detailed comprehensive network diagram - Configuration guidelines c) Technical Deployment. When the detailed technical design is complete - the proof of any solution is in the delivery of an effective, working system. We work seamlessly with your security team to deliver the chosen solution on time and on budget. d) Choice and Flexibility. The skill profile and available resources within every organisation is different. We offer flexibility with a choice of project management and delivery options. Our customers can elect to use our end-to-end services or utilise a blend of project management and implementation support. e) Educate. We will equip your team with the right level of knowledge to administer and effectively support your new security solution. Integralis offers a range of awareness and training options that provide both: - Vendor certification requirements and industry recognised accreditation. - Bespoke content designed to focus on the specific functionality of your installation.

Getting the strategy right for a Cloud implementation is critical to delivering a quality system. NTT DATA helps customers develop a Workflow strategy based on immediate and long-term goals and then rapidly execute on that plan based on our proven track record of providing comprehensive Cloud-based service applications. Developing a sound Workflow strategy before investing in a software solution is the best way to get the most from the investment, avoiding common pitfalls and mitigating risk. Whether the plan is to implement an entire suite of Workflow solutions or only the modules required to get up and running fast, we can design a strategy that will optimise the long and short term business benefits. Approach NTT DATA's rigorous strategy assessment uncovers the technical, user, and business requirements of the Cloud implementation so we can develop a roadmap for the Workflow implementation that enables the least disruption and maximises the return on investment. During the strategy phase, we will work with you to: - Assess your Workflow maturity and readiness - Develop goals and identify outcomes - Assess and blueprint processes With a fundamental change to working practices that a Workflow system will introduce, the approach to Change Management is often the key to a successful Workflow implementation. And without a company-wide commitment to change, even the best-laid Workflow plans can suffer low or partial take-up. Our Change Management Methodology includes processes, tools, training, and assessments that address business user and management needs, help to manage resistance, and enable you to implement corrective actions that will ensure adoption at all levels of the organisation. Our Change Management Methodology is based on over 10 years of research working with clients in all major industries. Our methodology combines industry best practices as well as the hands-on experience and insight of real project leaders and teams. In order to demonstrate that we understand the issues surrounding the quality management of designing and implementing Workflow solutions for Cloud implementations, we have provided the following example challenges and how we solved them. - Data Migration - often the customer has a myriad of data sources, going back a number of years and wants to bring all the data into the system. This can evolve into a complex process of extracting data from sources, merging it, de-duplicating and cleansing. Depending on the quality of the data, the knowledge of the source systems and the ability of the customer's IT team to extract data, this can become a time consuming practice. How we deal with it - run a data migration strategy exercise at the beginning of the project (jointly with the business) that examines the relevancy of the data in legacy systems; the cleanliness and the 'common' information that can be used for matching criteria. A data strategy document is then created which deals with the disposition of data by source system, this could include: leave it; one time migration or migrate through integration. We will then create a temporary data store where source data is migrated into, merged, cleansed and de-duped and then migrated into Workflow from the source system. This cuts down on effort and ensures better cleanliness. - Over complicating the system - on many occasions there is a desire to 're-create' functionality in existing systems so that Workflow system ends up acting just like a legacy system. This can lead to excessive configuration or over customisation. Unfortunately, many times the requirement comes from an 'its always been done that way', rather than a true requirement for the business. How we deal with it - through High Level Design and Detailed Design we ask the question 'Why?' when presented with a solution, rather than a requirement. This approach helps us get to the root requirement and avoid recreating legacy systems within Workflow system. It also helps to confirm when things really do need to be done a certain way and ensure that functionality makes it into the final solution. This approach helps ensure that the customer will get the most for their money by using Workflow system functionality where possible, but customising where required. - Data Management - what systems will own what data; how will integration work and what is the best method for integration? How we deal with it - run a data management strategy at the beginning of the project, jointly with the business, that examines which systems need to store what data and what level of integration is required. The output of this is an Integration strategy that lays out which systems will master which data; what data will be integrated; the frequency and method required and recommends the best tool for the job. Note: if the customer is both migrating data and integrating systems, we will run one data management exercise which will output both a Data Migration and Integration strategy. In this way, we can ensure that integration routines can be used, when possible, to assist with data migration thus cutting down on consultancy time required. - Upgrade projects - one common challenge with upgrading is dealing with customised code. If the original system was developed in accordance with Microsoft best practice and using the guidelines set out in the Microsoft Share Point SDK, then code should typically upgrade without a problem. However, we are seeing a number of customers experiencing 'code bouncing' during the upgrade process due to how it was originally developed. How we deal with it - we run a test upgrade which identifies which code, if any, has 'bounced' from the process. We then work with the customer to determine if that code is needed in the new system. If it is, then the code is fixed to comply with Workflow system standards. If it is not, it is removed. | |Nomensa Ltd |Website and Informations Systems Development - Supported Content Management Systems |Nomensa are a strategic experience design agency driving commercial value for our clients. Combining our experience in psychology, interaction design and technology, we transform digital experiences. Website and Information Systems Development Nomensa’s development team perform full CMS-based website builds. This is often combined with bespoke information system analysis, design and development. We can offer you technical consultancy to help you establish your exact requirements and identify any bespoke development required. We separate website build into two in-house work streams who work closely together throughout the whole process. Front-end development looks after HTML, CSS and JavaScript coding. Application development takes care of CMS configuration and customisation as well as bespoke information system implementations. We also offer a range of supporting services. Supported Content Management Systems We work primarily with two Content Management Systems – Defacto and Drupal. Defacto Defacto is Nomensa’s own CMS. It is a sophisticated but easy-to-use system, written in Python on the Django framework. It is designed to produce much more accessible HTML by default but has the added benefit of an accessible content-authoring area – an aspect of CMS systems which is often overlooked. Being written on the Django framework means that Defacto can benefit from of a wealth of community developed functionality as well as being easy to extend with bespoke code. If your site is largely data-driven, has complex business logic or requires extensive reporting and Management Information (MI) - Defacto is a great choice. You get the benefits of a fully-functioning CMS with the ability to harness the data-processing power of the Django framework and Python’s ability to integrate seamlessly with external systems and data-sources. Key Technologies: ■ Django ■ Python ■ JSON ■ Flexible Database Integration ■ AJAX ■ REST Drupal Drupal is an extremely sophisticated open source CMS written in PHP. It is packed with features and is highly extensible. It is great for complex sites that need to perform a variety of functions. Although Drupal comes with a large feature-set as standard, it is renowned for having a large and very active developer and support community, responsible for creating and maintaining an extensive array of contributed modules. These modules cover functionality ranging from ecommerce to internationalisation as well as integrations with many other 3rd party platforms. Extensibility is at the core of Drupal’s ethos, which helps to ensure the future-proofing of sites powered by it. Key Technologies: ■ PHP ■ MySQL ■ JSON ■ AJAX ■ REST ■ AHAH Other CMSs Nomensa have worked with many clients to help them integrate our templates into their systems, where there is a desire or need to use a different CMS.

Further details describing these and other programmes, and our key involvement in them, is described in the Case Studies section of this document.
Our Processes
For our development programmes, both in-house and for clients, we have had considerable success with PIPS; our collection of development processes, engineering practices and the tool configurations necessary to support them. PIPS is efficient because it is highly tailorable, and so unnecessary activities are removed or modified at the start of a project. PIPS is effective because it is an evolution of a mature process baseline (IBM Rational Unified Process - RUP) and because it places a high value on fulfilling the customer needs. It is flexible and extensible to deliver a wide range of engineering products and use of PIPS reduces risk by identifying and mitigating it early and providing a clear roadmap for development with frequent checkpoint opportunities.
PIPS can be tailored for either traditional (such as waterfall) or highly iterative (agile) methodologies and for high or low ceremony. Higher levels of ceremony mean additional rigor, process, and artefacts and are often applicable to developments involving safety or mission critical, hard real-time or distributed systems. PIPS facilitates the selection of appropriate processes that support the level of development agility and ceremony appropriate to the application domain, project size, timescale and budget.
To ensure quality, PIPS is consistent with the CMMI process improvement maturity model for the development of products and services. CMMI accommodates modern best practices of risk-driven iterative development and supersedes the older Capability Maturity Model (CMM) which mandated many artefacts and activities that were not always appropriate, unnecessarily increasing the level of ceremony.
The principal resource that PIPS provides is its core delivery process, which is derived from RUP and is the starting point for any project. The process structure, based on a sequence of phases and iterations provides a project management and planning framework for a project. Within this framework the process refers down to a set of specific process and practices drawn from an extensive library of method content. This content consists of descriptions of development artefacts (including, where appropriate, templates), roles and tasks together with extensive guidance on how to apply the process.
In addition, PIPS provides a set of tool configuration information, principally focused on customising Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect for use on a project.
We firmly believe that use of modern iterative and Agile development processes are key to the rapid development of software systems, and our initial tailoring of PIPS would be to configure such an agile process as our baseline process. There is significant industry experience demonstrating the merits of iterative development processes in terms of de-risking the programme and production of quality software in a timely manner. Use of iteratively produced prototypes enables confirmation of correct operation through early testing and exposing prototypes to the customer can aid in ensuring that both the customer requirements and their expectations are seen to be met. Defects identified during an iteration can be rectified in successive iterations to ensure that the project continues to advance and is always building on the solid foundations of development that has been proven in earlier iterations.
The further tailoring of PIPS from that iterative development baseline is driven by special considerations of the project or domain. Aspects such as safety-criticality, security, hard-realtime nature do not typically modify the basic iterative nature of the development process supported by PIPS. Instead, an assessment of the particulars of specific projects will often lead to an increase in the level of ceremony that is applied due to the additional artefacts, and the appropriate supporting processes necessary to produce the deliverables demanded by the special aspect. For example, additional processes may be necessary to produce Security Plans and Evaluation Plan for projects with specific security considerations.
Our Ways of Working
We would engage with customers to capture and define their requirements by seeking dialogue in face-to-face meetings as we have found this an effective way of gathering requirements and establishing a solid relationship. Often customers will have an initial set of requirements that would form the basis of early discussions. We would meet with them to clarify and explore these requirements to attempt to understand their existing requirements and identify further (derived) requirements that would be discussed in subsequent meetings. In addition to functional requirements, we will capture non-functional requirements, aim to establish any constraints (for example imposed by an existing technical architecture, and determine relative requirements priorities.
Following this period of requirements gathering and definition, we would normally reflect back to the customer our understanding of their requirements with a view to ensuring that the requirements are completely defined, are clear to all, and are achievable within the stated cost and time constraints. Typically, the desired business outcome of any project is to develop a solution that meets the requirements and expectations of the customer, and which is delivered in a timely and cost-effective manner. We will work with the customer to establish the requirements, constraints and customer expectations to provide a firm foundation for achieving those business outcomes and help to establish the business case.
Having established the requirements for the programme, we would analyse the problem using a software design use case model expressed in UML to refine the requirements and define the software architecture that will underpin the development. Components supporting the architecture will be identified, the component functionality and interfaces established, before the components are implemented using the appropriate languages and technologies.
In parallel, the testing and integration strategy will be defined, and test cases to verify the correct functioning of the system developed. We understand the importance of validation and verification in proving that the system is the correct system (fulfils the expectations of the client and users) and has been correctly implemented (meets the requirements).
Our testing process typically comprises the following activities: Develop Test Plan, Develop and Configure Test Environment, Prepare Test Materials, Conduct Test, Analyse Results and Identify Defects.
The Test Plan describes what we will test, which requirements are addressed, how the results will be reported, and what resources are required to perform the testing. The test plan is reviewed by the Test Manager to ensure maximum coverage of the requirements.
To undertake testing a test environment is needed that will provide and consume suitable data to verify the requirements and the interfaces. The scope of the test environment is dependent on the level of testing being conducted unit, component, system, integration. In every case the test environment is configured according to the Test Plan.
Test materials are prepared to specify the detailed testing to be conducted and comprise the test setup, test steps, and expected results that would confirm correct operation of the software under test in accordance with the Test Plan. This information would normally be contained within Test Specifications.
The testing of the software is conducted within the test environment according to the Test Specification and the results recorded in a test log.
Following testing, the results are analysed to confirm correct operation and that the requirements are satisfied. Our use of an iterative development process allows us to develop working software that delivers a meaningful set of functionality at the end of each iteration. Any defects identified during testing will be fed back into the development process for corrective action during the next iteration and will be subsequently re-tested.
Often selected testing can be conducted in the presence of a customer representative to ease acceptance testing and ensure the best possible customer satisfaction on product delivery.
Having proved the correctness of the system to the satisfaction of all parties, we would typically support the client in integrating the system into their portfolio of Cloud products and subsequent deployment as a live service.
Case Studies
The Met Office
Purple have successfully delivered several significant projects for the Met Office that are directly relevant to the GCloud requirement. The projects are similar in terms of the data gathering capability, the nature of the data processing required and the types of technology used to support that capability. Each project was delivered to the complete satisfaction of the customer and we have a continuing business relationship.
JMC Portal (Purple team of 3) Purple developed the JMC portal for the Met Office. The portal is a content management system for the defence network supplied by the Met Office. Building on several concepts that have been developed over a number of years, the JMC project was initiated by MoD to deliver enhancements to the Met Offices Defence Infrastructure through the use of new technologies. These include: A self-briefing flight safety tool called MOMIDS A decision server that delivers weather data for military use A server called JEDDS that delivers weather data layers to other military planning systems A portal style website was developed that provides a unique entrance point to access these tools and also to provide pertinent information on other Met office activities within the Defence arena. The Met Office requirements were successfully met and delivered on time and within budget. SafeSee 3 (Purple team of 11) Purple were engaged in December 2010 by the Met Office to manage and develop Safesee 3. This is a one stop shop providing web access to weather and sea state conditions for businesses that operate both onshore and offshore in standard and customer requested formats that allows the customer to forecast and plan operations reliant on weather and wave conditions. Our responsibility covered the full project lifecycle including the discovery and analysis of project requirements, user interface design, architectural design and the development of the application in Flex and ActionScript. This was supported by rigorous testing of the software and a managed transition into the Met Office environment, followed by an early life support phase. The testing and support phases were underpinned by our WAVE test harness, which we designed and developed specifically to test web-based application software. We provided a Rich Internet Application developed in Adobe Flex solution that was integrated with the existing Met Office web infrastructure. In addition to answering the requirements of the SafeSee 3 project, Purples offering was designed to consider ease of future development and provides a straightforward upgrade path for use on certain mobile handheld devices (including IPhone and Blackberry); allowing the Met Office to flexibly provide critical data to customers as and when it may be required. The project was considered to be very successful and we ensured that the deliverables met the Met Office project stakeholders needs exactly. The high quality of the development meant that only six actual defects, all minor, were logged in the following six month support period on a delivery of circa 38,000 lines of code. This level of quality meant that at the end of this period the Met Office had the confidence not to extend the warranty cover. GMV Enhancements (Purple team of 4) The Generic Map Viewer (GMV) performance enhancements project performed for the Met Office over the last few months also provides further evidence of Purple delivering web-based application development. We added a new regional based image capability to the GMV that enables layers to be presented using single images aligned to specific geographic areas while retaining the existing functionality to present tile based imagery. A new rubber band zooming feature was added which allows the user to select an arbitrary map area to focus on in a very quick and intuitive way. Other optimizations were performed alongside the new features. For example, by removing rather than simply hiding map layers when not selected, panning around the map became smoother and more responsive. As part of this project we also updated the map layer configuration screens within the WAVE administration service demonstrating our capability to fully integrate with existing infrastructure. Detica (Purple team of 10)
Purple have successfully delivered three significant projects for Detica that are directly relevant to the GCloud requirement. The projects are similar in terms of the data gathering capability, the nature of the data processing required and the types of technology used to support that capability. Each project lasted between 6-8 months and was delivered to the complete satisfaction of the customer.
Due to the sensitive nature of the projects it is not possible to supply specific details. However, in general terms these projects have involved a significant amount of information processing, data mining, data retrieval and database configuration and management and the development of data warehousing solutions that brought data together from a variety of different source databases.
The application architecture was based on importing data sets on the server-side which were then stored in a light footprint database. This data is exposed in various forms via REST web services and depending on the security credentials of the client. The application was structured on RESTEasy, Oracle 11g, JBoss 5.1, EJB3 and JPA/Hibernate 3. The solutions were capable of handling datasets up to 100,000 records and have an RDF inspired backend database that could morph to store different database schemas. The tools read the data from the RDF database and create an in-memory relational object model. A client user could then subscribe to the data and retrieve it via EJB remoting. The software was designed using UML2.0 and developed using tools and technologies including Java J2EE 5, EJB3, JBoss AS, Oracle 11g.
Purple were also crucially involved in the design, implementation and testing of Transmission - a web application for the same client. This web application allows users in other government departments to make requests for, and retrieve, information from the main organisation's system. Our system is the first to provide such capability to this particular organisation and as such Transmission was presented with a special merit award for general service from the client. The solution was developed using the SCRUM methodology, with features being progressively delivered in a series of 'sprints'. The system was implemented using a Java EE stack consisting of an Oracle database, RESTful Java web services and a SmartGWT front end. The Drools rules engine was also used.
Thales (Purple team of 6)
From 2006 to 2008, Purple provided a team of seven software engineers to assist Thales with the development of the ARRC C2IS system for the UK MoD and help build a secure information management system for the NATO Allied Rapid Reaction Corps.
The system developed, ARRC C2IS, is a web Portal broken down into various portlets. Each portlet was built using a combination of JSF, XHTML and CSS. Client-side JavaScript, including the Dojo toolkit, was employed to support the dynamic nature of many of the portlets. This use of AJAX allowed portlet content to be automatically updated without the whole page being refreshed, leading to a cleaner and more efficient user interface.
This project used a number of technologies; it was built on a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Oracle 10g in particular. Our team used many parts of the Oracle tool chain, including: SOA Suite, JDeveloper, Collaboration Suite (especially Content Services) and SQL Developer, as well as other J2EE technologies such as EJB3.
As part of ARRC C2IS, Purples engineers also recommended using a WMS/WFS compliant map service to support the export of situational awareness from their Command and Control system. The map export service was portlet driven and made use of Java Applets, XSLT (with customised XSLT extensions), to produce an SVG based situational awareness map with UK standard military symbology.
European Patent Office (Abel & Imray) (Purple team of 3)
Companies outside the EU typically obtain Patent protection within the EU by means of filing an international patent application in their home country and subsequently entering the European Regional phase. To do this, a European Patent attorney firm (such as Abel & Imray) is typically instructed to take the necessary action - forms are filed and various fees are paid. The forms and fee requirements are complicated, but are logical, routine and require little professional involvement being readily automated by means of a web-based application that asks the user various questions, interacts with the EPO web-site, and then completes all forms / fee payment instructions automatically for subsequent checking by an attorney.
Abel & Imray commissioned a version of the website around 2005. However due to stability issues, it was never able to satisfy the basic requirements with any confidence and had subsequently fallen into disuse. Purple's involvement started at the beginning of 2012 with an initial development (SCRUM) sprint to migrate the existing code base (VB.NET and ASP) to a resilient, modular and extendable architecture. The legacy site was used as a guide to requirements, a reference for some backend logic and the front end UI ASP pages were consolidated into the new deployment. | |Quicksilva Limited |Software Integration Solutions |Quicksilva are experts in agile software development, technical design and architecture services and consultancy, offering integration, data sharing, messaging and interoperability solutions.

Security - hosting of services in secure, government-rated (to Impact Level 3) data centres with certified security compliance. Authenticated user access for service users and administrators with secure audit log. Access from anywhere secure web GUIs should enable access to services from any location. | |Redwood Technologies Ltd |Cloud Discovery |The Cloud Discovery process is the initial stage in a cloud deployment and is designed to de-risk a project. We work with the client to assess various aspects of the project. In the event that co-operation is impossible, both parties have the option to terminate the project during the discovery stage. Discovery ensures the smooth running of a project and reduces the waste of time and money. The Discovery process is carried out in the following stages:
Redwood consultants meet with the parties involved in the customer's current solution (if one exists) and also any parties that will be involved in the new solution.
In the discussion, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are reviewed, and key performance targets are set.
Our consultants review the customer's existing business processes which are then documented, and the customer's desired business requirements are also discussed.
All the data gathered is collated and a Statement of Requirements (SOR) document, which details a proposed solution tailored to the customer's needs. If possible under the time constraints, Redwood may produce a demonstration of some of the proposed services, although this is not always possible or necessary.
Once the preparations are complete, our consultants present the findings (the SOR and, if available, the demo) to the customer. Feedback is received from the customer, and a price outline is proposed.
A final proposal is documented, and is presented to the customer along with a recommendation from Redwood as to whether proceeding with the project is viable. The customer then makes a decision on whether or not to continue.

Gap analysis works by identifying the maturity level of a client's communications systems; these may be embryonic, comprising only basic voice functions and other simple features, or at the advanced end of the spectrum, utilising intelligent interactive voice response (IVR) menus and other developed call routing features.
Having completed this initial analysis, Redwood consultants assess where the business currently stands in terms of communications technology and maturity. The next step is to determine where the client would like to be, which allows the consultancy team to make an objective assessment of the extent of the gap between the current situation and the objective.
A plan can then be drawn up of how Redwood solutions can take a business from its present maturity level and improve this to the desired maturity level, identifying with relevance to the market the specific features and aspects of infrastructure that can be worked on. This information is compiled into a report which is then presented to the client. Once an agreement is reached, the solutions can be implemented.

Typically solution areas can be ranked as follows:
The opportunity evaluation report presents the identified solution areas graded according to this scale, with more detailed information and analysis of the current situation and what potential improvements can be made. Customers may find this approach particularly useful if they are aware of the need for improvements but are unsure of the extent of transformation that is required.
Once the client has seen the report, potential solutions can be discussed based on the gradation. In some cases a business may determine that even less essential improvements may be prudent to look into, but the optimal solution will be arrived at jointly by the client and the Redwood consultancy team.

Using storm at the core of your communications infrastructure strategy means not only ultra-reliable, secure and scalable communications, but also the ability to record, track and display every interaction, boosting compliance, transparency and performance measurement.
Redwood is proposing its storm hosted services platform for the provision of services; with its 30,000 port voice capacity and its proven multimedia capabilities, storm UK's systems and applications are both highly reliable and hugely flexible. storm's SMS solution can simultaneously handle up to 2,000 messages per second and in addition to these substantial SMS facilities, other services include MMS, Mobile Internet, Video-to-Mobile, Fax and E-mail.
storm is based on a centralised design so that no traffic bottlenecks occur at the edge of the network. This design also allows information to be collated in real-time, improving the turnaround time with which information can be delivered to the caller.
storm is fully integrated within the Cable&Wireless Worldwide network in government-rated data centres (IL2) and Redwood is looking to upgrade to IL3 datacentres in the near future.

|Triad Consulting & Solutions |Business Intelligence: Implementation & Consultancy |Service Statement Triad offers a range of Business Intelligence (BI) services and capabilities that enable organisations to understand what is happening within and around their organisational sphere of interest. Services that improve performance and outcomes, and that help decision makers make tactical and strategic business decisions. Services that provide KPI dashboards allowing real-time, interactive, self-service analysis by the end-user. We achieve this through initial business analysis activities and then through application of the most appropriate technology to meet your need, pulling on our strengths and experience. Through this service, Triad can deliver solutions based on: • Microsoft Technology Stack (including…) o .Net bespoke solutions o SharePoint / PerformancePoint o Excel Services and Excel application • Triad frameworks built on the Microsoft Technology Stack o Triad’s Data Warehouse Framework o Triad’s Engage & Present Location Intelligence platforms • BOARD Management Intelligence Solution (incorporating…) o Business Intelligence (BI) o Corporate Performance Management (CPM) Benefits • Clients can understand the dynamics of their organisation and make rapid inferences about the cause and effect of activities, events, processes and behaviours. • Benefits accrue from actions taken on the basis of these Insights, and could stem from anywhere in the organisation. For example, benefits might be reduced costs, improved efficiency, optimised HR performance, improved customer service levels, reduced accident rates, lowered financial risk, and so on. • Our BI platforms all promote and encourage the asking of key questions, the answers to which lead directly to organisational benefits. In all cases, we extend our offering using our skills in consultancy, integration, development and understanding the business needs of our clients to deliver richer, deeper or more integrated solutions. Sample applications The following lists some typical applications and BI capabilities that Triad can deliver through this service: • Management dashboards and infographics • Key Performance Indicator (KPI) tracking • Customer service level monitoring • Data discovery and integration • Predictive analytics • Master data management • Human Resource (HR) dashboards • Financial consolidation • Procurement analysis • Budgeting, planning and forecasting • Variance analysis • Balanced scorecards • Profit & Loss (P&L), balance sheet and cash flow analysis and planning • Sales analysis • Big Data analysis • Extension of key field decision making data and analysis to mobile platforms How do we do it? We deliver on BI requirements by initially carrying out an assessment of your business needs and then considering your technology options, based on existing systems, data sources, cloud-based options, preferred technologies and delivery requirements. We do not have one prescriptive solution for such requirements as one size can never fit all in this arena. We have developed a portfolio of capabilities in harmony with our other services: • Consultancy to assess and identify the right BI solution for you • Business case development and strategic support • Programme and Project Management • Solution analysis and definition The initial analysis may be followed up with a proof-of-concept or pilot project, leading to refinement and confirmation of requirements and development projects using traditional waterfall or Agile development methodologies. Integration will frequently be required with client data sources; sometimes embedded into a host system and sometimes interfacing with numerous other line-of-business systems. Pricing models Triad’s Business Intelligence services can be purchased on the basis of day rates or as fixed price projects for both individual consultants and consulting teams. Triad’s Engage & Present Location Intelligence platforms Present delivers an online system that uses an intuitive thematic structure to store, map, present and share information.

|XMA Limited |XMA HP Social Media Analytics |To be an effective and leading individual facing organisation, services today must use social media to learn more about and interact with their people, partners and employees – the customer – the products and services that a citizen consumes, the interactions that they may have with public services, the relationships they may have with each other or individuals in the community such as volunteers. Social intelligence enables a new deep knowledge of the individual that arises from combining social media insight with traditional individual profiling data. Social intelligence allows organisations to manage real-time or near-real-time conversations with their ‘customers’ whether members of the public, the citizen, individual, or other personality stakeholders, listening to their needs and deliver engaging contextual communications. To do this, organisations must deal with new data sources and combinations, new technologies, new ways of working, new talent, new ways of measuring, and new ways of thinking. XMA has worked with its partner, HP to create a social media analysis consultancy which will allow an organisation to create a strategy and plan for using social media effectively. Whether it is the use of social media to create more effective services which allow a more personalised service; or allow an organisation to better understand sentiment, the XMA consultancy with HP will inform the use of social media for the authority. |
